Habitat

<p>Erosion on the southbank upstream side of bridge (referred to last year) seems to have steadied off this year. Site looks much the same as last year. There are only pools of water here and there with the pools close to the bridge appearing scummy and green, the bigger pools further away appear to be a lot clearer. There are a few sheep in the north east paddock, not much else around that i can see.</p>
